Our Ms. Burke and the Koch Brothers
Right Wisconsin ^ | 3-5-14 | David Blaska

Posted on 03/06/2014 4:14:17 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

One percenter Mary Burke, Democrat for governor, is telling the Koch Brothers to stay out of Wisconsin.

Our Ms. Burke and her largely self-funded campaign have purchased web ads on Wisconsin news websites warning, "Tell the Koch Brothers: Stay Out of Wisconsin." Click on the ad and you’re taken to an appeal from the Burke campaign.

Problem is, the Kochs are already in Wisconsin. With paper mills in Green Bay, Neenah and Sheboygan employing thousands. With refining, chemicals and biofuels operations in Junction City, Waupun, Madison and Milwaukee employing hundreds more. With asphalt plants in Green Bay and Stevens Point giving jobs to still more.

In Green Bay, the Kochs’ Georgia-Pacific subsidiary donated nearly $200,000 worth of materials to the public schools.

"Tell the Koch Brothers: Stay Out of Wisconsin?" And take those paper mill jobs in the Fox River Valley with you? The irony is that the Koch Brothers have signed more union contracts in Wisconsin than Our Ms. Burke.

The Burke-owned Trek bicycle plants in Wisconsin are non-union; most of its bikes are assembled in China. Also, non-union.

Koch Brothers out of Wisconsin?

Mary Burke, get out of China!

Mary Burke may be stupid and a hypocrite, but she is their stupid hypocrite.

Since the press won't cover her failings this really doesn't matter any way.

Well that should be an easy campaign ad to run against her.

Mary Burke: The face of liberalism. Vile, angry, and ugly.

She should be mocked publicly, loud and often.

In the Dictionary, next to the word 'PUTZ' is a small picture of Ms. Burke.

What a dumb ass!

Stay away from ALL Democrats.
They have a defective mind and a reprobate spirit.

What she is basically saying is you outside Republican contributors stay out.....leave the state open for Democrat/lib contributors who usually contribute millions to Democrat hypocrites like me.

I love Dave Blaska and I don’t care who knows it! He is one of the FEW voices here in ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ that says it like it is!

She is NEVER going to beat Scott Walker. Never. Nice to see her spending her millions locally for a change, though.

*SNORT*
